Bluetooth Dongle...
The bluetooth dongle is a small piece of technology (that comes with it's own software) that allows transfer of data to/from my mobile phone to/from the computer.
First bluetooth technology experience was recently at a Kodak photo kiosk. I knew the mobile phone could 1. take pictures and 2. had something called bluetooth on the menu options, that was all.
With much help from the shop assistant, I was shown how to get photos off the mobile phone and transfered to the kiosk using bluetooth technology. (It was to get the pictures that were on the phone printed off at 50c a copy to put in a photo album). From phone to album - impressive! Unfortunately to keep going that way, it was going to be expensive!
Using Google, I set out to find a way that was more convenient (and cheaper!) to do this, did a search using both bluetooth and mobile phone and after pages of results, decided to check out this bluetooth dongle thing that kept coming up in the results.
Wikipedia was a great help also:

If searching for technology in this fashion with intent to purchase, use Ebay, retail and manufacturer sites to scout out the prices.
The result? Ended up getting a bluetooth dongle as a gift and now I don't know what I would do without it!
Still don't know much about this gadget, other than setting up both the phone and computer to 'read' each other through the dongle (once it is plugged into the computer) and the software, along with mouse clicking does the rest!
Now if only I could remember where I last put it.
